They are an incredibly supportive retreats where we share & show so many of the key aspects of building confidence, connection & control within ourselves, our horses and the partnership between you and your beautiful horse.

Building Bravery

One of the things I love the most about my horses is that feeling of "we can do anything together". Ever since I was a teenager with my first horse Shadow, I have built a bond with my horses that makes me feel like we are an unstoppable team.

Over the years, hundreds of clinics, one of my passions is sharing that process with riders, to help them experience that amazing feeling.

Now I feel like we take it to an even deeper level, through my collaborative work with Linda from Nurtured by Nature Psychotherapy

Over 3 days we share with you our knowledge to help you not only help your horse build bravery, but yourself.

Linda helps you understand your human emotions, thought patterns and nervous system in such a way that allows you to take control of situations, to support yourself, and your horse.

I give you the tools to support your horse - how to preserve curiosity around learning, how to build confidence around obstacles and "new situations", what to do if something goes wrong, and how to hit that reset button.

We have 2 of these clinics booked before the end of 2026

September 25, 26 and 27 at Glenreagh NSW

October 2, 3 & 4 at Gympie / Braceland QLD

If you want to get that feeling of you and your horse building bravery together, join us by sending a message or commenting below for details.

Just love the way Tanja Kraus Horsemanship starts the conversations with horses that have come into her herd. So relational & mutual. Creating trust & openess to be able to speak into both horse & human language.

Nervous system regulation can come in many forms.

For me, today it looked like making delicious mango jam and chutney from our homegrown mangoes. The process was deeply grounding—the aroma and taste filling my kitchen and inviting me to slow down and be present.

But it doesn’t end there. It’s also about the beautiful memories that come flooding back as my senses come alive: climbing the mango tree with the kids, seeing who could pick the biggest one, watching the birds visit for their share, and noticing the bees pollinating the blossoms as nature weaves her magic.

It’s also about gifting jars of jam and chutney to special friends and family, and carrying on the generational tradition of preserving and sharing food made with love.

And it doesn’t end there either. Every spoonful of jam or chutney will take me back to those special moments—the laughter, the connection, the mango tree, the birds and the bees.

Who would have thought that an afternoon spent making jam and chutney could be so soothing for the nervous system? 🥭💛

Trying to juggle motherhood with the demands of rearing children and struggling to even get a couple of minutes to yourself to recharge?

This video is on one of our mares trying to get some much needed rest. As you might have noticed there are 2 youngsters been very annoying while she tries to sleep.

I gather some of you may be able resonate with our mare Val when you also have youngsters at home and are trying to desperately even get just a few moments of rest

Sleep fatigue slows down your brain and drains your body. It makes it hard to focus, lowers your mood, and weakens your health over time.

AND yes Horses suffer from sleep fatigue as well. Creating a environment that promotes sleep is essential for both horses & humans.

Im curious to know what strategies do u used to get a great sleep?
